1a. Study all the Sources: Use your own knowledge to assess how far the Sources support the interpretation that finance was the main problem of the French Monarchy by 1789.
By 1789 the financial crisis in France had resulted in the country accumulating an astonishing national debt of 113 livres. The crisis came about primarily because of an inefficient and unfair tax structure, outdated medieval bureaucratic institutions, and a drained treasury which was the result of aiding the Americans during the American Revolution. Additional causes include long wars with England, overspending, and an inequitable tax system which placed the burden of taxation on those least able to pay, the Third Estate. Other issues troubled the monarchy namely the resistance of the Parlements and the Assembly of notables as suggested in Source A, the opposition against unjust taxation, argued by Source C and the weakness of Louis XVI as a monarch himself as suggested by Source D. Ultimately the interpretation that the financial crisis was the most prominent problem faced by the French Monarchy is the strongest, supported by Sources A, B and E, the crisis caused the most chaos.
Before all the else the financial crisis was unequivocally the most imminent and forthcoming issue faced by the French monarchy, this...

SYNTHESIS
|Key Features of a Synthesis |
(1) It accurately reports information from the sources using different phrases and sentences;
(2) It is organized in such a way that readers can immediately see where the information from the sources overlap;.
(3) It makes sense of the sources and helps the reader understand them in greater depth.
|The Background Synthesis |
The background synthesis requires that you bring together background information on a topic and organize it by topic rather than by source. Instructors often assign background syntheses at the early stages of the research process, before students have developed a thesis--and they can be helpful to students conducting large research projects even if they are not assigned. In a background synthesis of Internet information that could help prospective students select a college, for example, one paragraph might discuss residential life and synthesize brief descriptions of the kinds of things students might find out about living on campus (cited of course), another might discuss the academic program, again synthesizing information from the web sites of several colleges,...

...Essay #4: Research & Analysis Rough Draft: _____________ Final Draft: ____________
|In the dialectical journals and class discussions for this unit, we will focus on George Orwell’s characterization of poverty in Down and Out in Paris |
|and London. For this essay, you will present an analytical evaluation of Orwell’s account of a specific cause, consequence, or characteristic of |
|poverty. To evince your evaluation, you will research the topic of poverty and use three outside sources in your essay. |
Introduction (1 paragraph): In a single introductory paragraph you should first provide a brief overview of Down and Out. (Remember that for essays that focus on a single text, you should state the author’s name, the text’s title, and its publication date in the introduction.) The main purpose of the introduction here, however, is to succinctly answer the question, “What does Orwell say about poverty?” To answer this question, you will draw on not only direct statements about poverty in the novel, but also indirect statements made via plot, dialogue, and description. Our class discussions and dialectical journals will be directed towards helping you make these inferences. Make sure you provide a narrow focus, describing Orwell’s characterization of a specific aspect of poverty. As a starting point, you may want to consider how Orwell characterizes the following:

...How far does Source 3 challenge the impression given in Sources 1 and 2 that the Battle of the Somme had achieved worthwhile objectives?
Having analysed all 3 sources, it can be said that source 3 significantly challenges sources 1 and 2 giving an entirely different perspective on the battle of the Somme.
Source 1 is an extract from Sir Douglas Haig’s final dispatch, published in March 1919. Thissource begins to describe the Battle of the Somme as a tremendous victory. Haig claims that “The three main objectives… had been achieved.” Haig also then begins to describe the three objectives, “Verdun had been relieved…”, “German forces had been held down…” and “the enemy’s strength had been considerably worn down”. Haig also claims that as the objectives had been “achieved” this was enough to “…justify the Somme Battle.” This source was published shortly after the war in 1919, but was a few years after the Battle of the Somme allowing some time for the truth about the events of the battle to emerge. The source has some limitations as it was an extract from Haig’s own writing, who was Commander-in-Chief of the British Forces therefore the source may be bias towards Britain and their success in the battle. The purpose of the source was to inform people of Haig’s perception of the battle and due to this being one person’s...

...Is Wikipedia A Reliable Source
In this paper I will be discussing the debate between pro Wikipedia’s Dwight Reed, and Rachel R. Wright, and con Wikipedia’s Nicole Irwin, Michelle Douglas, and Ivy Leigh. During the debate between Learning Team B members we debated over different points of views regarding Wikipedia as a reliable source.
Debating Wikipedia
Almost everyone knows about Wikipedia. Heck, every time you use a search engine like Google, Wikipedia shows up as a source for information.
Nicole Irving on the con side of the debate started out by saying “Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, so what makes the information shared by anyone true? If anyone can edit it then people can also edit it to be wrong. Dwight Reed who debated on the pro side of Wikipedia shot back with “Do you consider Google to be a credible search engine? I contend that if you believe Google to be a credible search engine you have to also conclude Wikipedia is a credible source of information. Google goes to great length to make your search relevant. They rank your results based upon the number of links to a particular source (Garfinkel, 2008, p.84). In the Google search box if you type any noun (person, place, or thing) a Wikipedia article is the first or second result you get. What this means is that these Wikipedia articles have the most links to them than anything else on the internet. A lot of people...
